Exam Proctoring Center: Courtesy Exams

The Exam Proctoring Center (EPC) at the University of Vermont can provide proctoring services as a courtesy for other educational institutions or organizations, as our schedule permits. 

The EPC cannot proctor Courtesy Exams during the University of Vermont academic year while classes are in session.  We will begin offering Courtesy Exam testing again on December 16, 2025 through January 10, 2026. This period coincides with UVM Winter Session.

The EPC has the capabilities to administer computer-based (on- or off-line), listening, and paper-based exams.  All exams will be administered according the sponsoring institution, organization, or instructor specifications and instructions.  All Courtesy Exams must be scheduled at least two (2) weeks prior to the requested test date.

Proctoring Fee

The EPC fee for proctoring non-UVM exams is $40/hour. There is a 1-hour minimum. The fee is payable to ‘University of Vermont’ by cash ONLY.

  • We charge a $40/hour flat fee for the first hour of testing. For every additional 15-minute increment breached, an additional $10 will be added to the total amount owed. This payment is due upfront and in full for the scheduled length of the exam.
  • Payment is due at the time of services.  Failure to provide payment will result in exam materials being withheld until payment is recieved.
  • UVM students or alumni using the EPC and our services for a non-UVM course are responsible for the fee.

Courtesy Exam Scheduling

Courtesy Exams are administered by appointment only. 

Exam times are available Monday - Friday, between the hours of 9 a.m. - 3 p.m., as the EPC schedule permits. If test-takers need a different schedule, please include that information with the booking request.
